So far it's only happened twice. once on the highway after about 20 min of driving and one on surface streets, about 30-40 min after driving. THe first time it happened, I assuemd it was another car, or some other external smell. The second time I became a bit more suspicious.
Dealer says they are unable to recreate the issue. I just don't want the car blowing up on me or some other disastrous situation. I'm a bit of n00b and attempting to understand the seriousness of the issue and possible causes.
Thank you

Zero rudeness perceived. Totally get it.
Now, if it was coming from under your back seat or from the engine bay you would really smell it. Absolutely. Another point of reassurance is that you are smelling it intermittently. It's coming from somewhere else. You can relax.
I remember driving a diesel citroen years ago when it sprung a
small leak under the hood. It didn't take long before the vapor was overwhelming.
